Re: Biopatch vs Algidex

I would be reluctant to switch to a product without any clinical studies.  I realize the seduction of  money saved, but cleaning site with chg, prepping with chg and maintaining the site with chg(biopatch) is the way to go, I beleive. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kristin Robertson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 2:48 PM Subject: Biopatch vs Algidex Hi all.  We just received samples and info on the new Algidex patch.  We haven't trialed them yet. The savings to switch from Biopatch to Algidex is @ $18,000.00 annually. Any thoughts or personal experiences with Algidex? Any good studies comparing the two out there yet?   Thanks, Kristin Kristin C. Robertson R.N. Vascular Access Specialist
